The Shadow Girls - Lucienne Diver
"With The Shadow Girls, Lucienne Diver claims her stake in Epic Fantasy. Great and relatable characters, devious twists, and plenty of action. Consider me a fan!" -Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Kagen the Damned and editor of Weird Tales.
Three women, bound by fate and circumstance, all trying to survive in a man's world. They are the women of the Jucari, and they are at their breaking points. Each will rise up, determined to reshape the face of power and end the Blood War which has been raging for years. Each will make her stand for freedom, for respect, for ultimate, bloody power.
Cia, the captive handmaiden, given as a war prize to an abusive mageri-her rebellion sets a spark to the tinderbox of Drucari society.
Ulan, the grieving mother doing all she can to keep a thread of contact with her daughter's spirit while working behind the scenes with her cousin, the Crown's spymaster.
And Bloody Bess, the disregarded Princess Regent, using her dark powers and stolen life force to power her machinations and designs on ultimate power. If she can overthrow her regent through the forbidden blood magics that create the Shadow Girls living in her head, it may be more than her mind that fractures. It may be the world itself.
"The Shadow Girls is everything epic fantasy should be - thrilling, powerful, redemptive, and exquisitely written. Lucienne Diver has spun a magical tale and I eagerly await future volumes set in this compelling world!" - David B. Coe/D.B. Jackson, author of the Thieftaker Chronicles.
"The true magic of Diver's novel are her characters. The characters of The Shadow Girls will stick with you long after the last page. If you love Fantasy, and you want to read something unique, sweeping, and truly epic, pick up The Shadow Girls. You can thank me later." - R.S. Belcher, author of The Six-Gun Tarot.
